I thin k E-plus is your best fit. I don't think E-quest can do it because the minimum indoor temp can not be set below 55F. I have done something similar before in E-Plus and it worked fine.

Subject: [Bldg-sim] Cold Storage
This question has been asked before, but I can't actually find an answer
anywhere.
The question is basically what simulation tool can be used to model cold
storage?
A supermarket is a good example of cold storage. I have read that
EnergyPlus has numerous features to model supermarkets, including cold
racks and lots more. But I have also read that EnergyPlus is
text-input-only and a graphical user interface is advisable.
I have never used EnergyPlus. I have used EnergyPro and E-Quest.
Do any of you EnergyPlus gurus out there recommend EnergyPlus for
supermarkets and further do you recommend a graphical interface?
Your thoughts are appreciated.
